Can anyone tell me how to set the pyxis worksheet to print to our unit printer. I'm a travel nurse and use the worksheet to organize myself and use it as a double check giving medications. I have been pulled or floated many times ....this features is extremely helpful in prioritizing and keeping me on track during a busy night with admissions. However, not many nurses know about it and my new current assisgnment doesnt even have the pyxis set up to print to anywhere!! How do I do this? The pharmacy doesnt know nor IT...Please help

The software is there to select patients and create worksheets it is viewable.

I've been in facilities that don't have the software to do it at all . It s not even a selection at the work station

I've contacted a rep to go over the features .

It may be there but will it run? :smokin: I'll be interested.....the Pyxis Itself may say it's there, but it may not communicate with the hospitals mainframe. Pyxis is NOTORIOUS (well they all are really) for adding features to a machine to "tempt" the facility into purchasing more when they notice (or a traveler notices) a feature they would think be helpful.......but there's a catch......you need the software from them (additional expense of course :rolleyes:) to allow it to function with your existing system.....for a small fee, of course. :cool:
